ANKENY, Iowa— Former Vice President Mike Pence opened his bid for the Republican nomination for president Wednesday with a firm denunciation of former President Donald Trump, accusing his two-time running mate of abandoning conservative principles and being guilty of dereliction of duty on Jan. 6, 2021.
Pence, launching his campaign in a suburb of Des Moines, became the first vice president in modern history to challenge the president under whom he served. He said Trump had disqualified himself when he insisted that Pence had the power to keep him in office — even though he did not.
Trump, he said, “endangered my family and everyone at the Capitol”

Pence doesn't have the energy to go head to head with Trump, DeSantis or Scott.

With this denunciation of Trump and not a prayer of getting the Republican nomination, Pence seems to be on the payroll of the Democrat party. After the first Republican debate (which I hope Trump misses) Pence will probably drop out before the New Hampshire primary, sort of like K.Harris and Iowa. Pence's career is at an end.

FTA: "He said Trump had disqualified himself when he insisted that Pence had the power to keep him in office"
No, Trump said he had the power to not accept fraudulent electors and their votes, which is true!
Lying' RINO!

...and if he is as staunchly pro-life as his statement would suggest, why was he so proud to jump in front of the cameras to get the Covid "vaccine" that was created using aborted babies. It is like proudly wearing jewelry from holocaust victims while the fires of the furnaces are still burning.

Pence is spinning his wheels as the majority of Republican voters are Trump supporters who will never vote for him. Without those Republican voters, Pence has no chance. So the Republican Party would be committing political suicide in the 2024 election if they nominate Pence as their Presidential candidate.

I wonder if someone used a Sharpie to mark the line on his political throat that says “CUT HERE?”

Here is the Act that PDJT cited as being what Pence should have followed on January 6. Pence chose to ignore the Act (or didn’t understand it?) This article is from ABC News, so is understandably biased, but it eventually gets to the Act:

He is probably counting on the evangelicals to carry him through the campaign season. Pence is a fool, and what is worse, he is a corrupted and dangerous fool.

Benedict Arnold Pence will be lucky to come in higher than 6th place in his home state primary. He won't be nearly that high in any other state primary, and will be gone within a couple of weeks of the opening of primary season.
Pence is a huge part of the reason I am no longer a Republican. I am an independent conservative. While I would never vote for a Demøn-Rat, since they are all pure evil, I will also never vote for another RINO Republi-Can't just because he or she has an "R" after their name!!! Evil is evil, and I am done supporting evil!!!!!
